Ninth Practice - Valley Forge

Full marathon participants completed eight miles today. Now, the mileage will increase each weekend until we reach twenty two miles, decreasing slightly until the main event. Yesterday, the Philadelphia region experienced arctic temperatures... I was so thankful for the mild weather today.

Fundraising update... I have reached $2072!

Next Sunday, we return to Kelly Drive.

About Me

I became involved with Team In Training during the Spring 2007 season by training for the New Jersey Marathon in Long Branch, New Jersey. Prior races include several 5K and 10K events, and one half marathon. Training for an endurance event takes a lot of commitment, courage, and vision. Looking back on my casual running experience for the past two decades, I never imagined training for a marathon! Through Team In Training, I found a great training program, developed new friendships, and made a significant impact by raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma from taking more lives. I am continually inspired by our featured team heroes and the personal stories from friends, family, and teammates that were shared during my initial fundraising for the cause. Please enjoy reading the past stories of my experience.
